Provincial UTEP

[ducati]

Just as with the episode with Dr. Natalicio, UTEP desires the glory of a major institution but not the responsibility. Can you imagine a CEO of a major regional company disappearing with no word on what happened, where, or current status? Ultimately, she returned to tune of a one-sentence news release!

Floyd, likewise, did not reveal anything today -- apart from his boorishness -- that could not have been said weeks ago. He used the forum for an ad hominem attack. Entirely consistent with El Paso's ranking as a lower level (89th) media market. Of course, the marketplace is uninformed. UTEP wants the control to pretend all is always well. Imagine if they were in a media market commensurate with the 18th largest city in the U.S.

As others have said, Floyd is feeling the heat. He is confusing excuses with results. Five years and no dance!

Six years and no dance!

Six years and no dance!

According to Floyd he just said today that's it's only five years cuz of the 11 seniors that Barbee left him.

Those 11 seniors that he led to a 1st round blow out in the NIT...

Ok. I'll buy that for a buck! 5 years it is. And STILL nothing to show for it. Except for that NIT ass pounding that Floyd mentioned. Surprised he holds that in such lofty status.

 

[JCorona]

Those same eleven seniors that guided Floyd to his only CUSA championship appearance and his best finish RPI wise as the head coach of UTEP.

Those eleven guys are the reason why things are the way they are today with what is going to be seven actual calendar years later.

You have no choice but to connect with Millennials -- bashing them certainly won't attract and retain the best of them.

Taking potshots at players just departed won't sit well with future recruits.

Transferring is a national epidemic -- he takes zero personal accountability for it at UTEP.

He bullied Kappy, unveiling his ugly side.

Incredibly arrogant to say you're "informing the uninformed."

Our coach has revealed himself as a megalomaniac.

Did he have more seniors on that team than he's had in the other 5 years combined?

Streeter
Tucker
Bohannon
Washburn
Cooper
Lang
Vint
Caldwell
Morris

Floyd is using the national transfer epidemic as an excuse for doing nothing here, but then he completely bashed Romine and Buddha Jones and said they pretty much sucked last season and did nothing so its no big loss that they transferred. But if we have another average season next season, he will still be using the national transfer epidemic excuse again. Its just nothing but excuses with Floyd and its getting tiring.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Floyd comes off as completely disingenuous because he is so full of excuses and takes no responsibility for the lack of success over the last 5-6 years. He is one arrogant mother effer!

Isn't part of coaching being able to relate to your players so you can motivate them and get the best out of them? Am I wrong?

Well, it depends on who you ask. If, for example, you asked Floyd then I reckon he'd just throw a shoe at you and call you an asshole...
